Bryant Jacobs is running for Governor of Kansas in the 2026 election.

Jacobs discusses poverty, crime, houselessness, mental health, and self-medication as symptoms of larger economic and social systems. He argues that police are a reactionary force and that communities need responsible systems that address the conditions creating harm. The discussion also covers healthcare access, education, labeling students, and how people can be written off instead of supported.
